The tribute was colorful and heartbreaking. The stuffed toys of children passed. Ears fluttering in the warm breeze. The monsters take the children. Tributes pinned to the line in the hopes that the household would be spared. Nearly every household was affected. And still the monsters came. Night after night, stealing in with the shadows, taking.

Taking.

Taking.

The red-rimmed eyed women met in secret. No more, they swore. They took up arms and waited in the shadows. No more, they swore.

The battle was bloody. The dark hid their sins. Many died.

Their desperation won.

But still, they wept.
